TURNKEY SERVICE
Analysis of the client’s requirements, and the design of a solution (cost, durability and quality are our priorities).
A standard range of products which accommodates varying production demands within foundries of all sizes, and allows us to carry stock, reducing lead times.
Before packaging or shipping to client site, each piece of equipment is tested at our premises which prevents teething problems during installation at the client’s site.
Our engineering team provide training to the client’s operator on how to run and maintain the equipment and provide them with a User Manual which outlines safety precautions, operation, troubleshooting and spare parts.
We are the channel partners for ABB and are able to source any ABB components from all their international divisions, importing directly and supplying to the end user.
Other components are all stainless steel equipment from plating, through to tanks, specific high performance pumps, motors and full material handling systems directly required by the client.
Our Mining Division sources all mining requirements for mining houses.
